PEEPACE. 



I Thb int«i-est of Elegiac poetry is that it i-^Qpcta the 
r thoughts and feelings of the poet. During the prevk- 
§ knee of Epic poetry in the Greek world tho sympa- 
I of tho [>oets were absorbed in the actions of 
Wtt former geoeratioa of heroes; and tlie universal 
Peetablishment of monarchies swayed by the reputed 
k ilescendautB of those heroea hindered tho dcTelopment 
!Of individuality. But republican movements settiog 
Kin, especially among the lonians, stirred up individual 
pfiioaght, and aroused and encouraged the poet to 
B the expression of his own feelings to the world. 
I These were uttered both in Elegiac and Iambic verse, 
, which thus together occupied a transitionary period 
L between the Epic and Lyric, 

But we are now concerned only with the Elegiac 

jetry. The word Elegy is generally associated in 

r minds with the idea of mournitiB-. ajiA. vW \R.fm.

Ti PREFACE. 

This Asiatic dirge was accompanied by the flute, and, 
as far as we know, had no special metrical fonn. 
But the term cXeyeZov describes the metrical form 
of a poem irrespective of its subject : and it is possible 
that the dirge when first metrically arranged by the 
Greeks was written in this metre, in which the 
alternate lines are modifications of the original Epic 
hexameter. A poem written in this metre is called 
cXeycta ; and the subjects of these poems, as we have 
them in the Greek Elegiac Poets, are of every variety, 
but treated with reference to the poet himself, and 
the friends with whom he converses. This was the 
first regularly cultivated branch of poetry ; and in 
its recitation the flute alone was employed as an 
accompaniment. 

It will not be uninteresting to consider briefly 
how the Elegy was employed by the more exclusively 
Elegiac of those poets from whose writings our extracts' 
are selected. 

The Lydians marched to battle, says Herodotus, 
to the sound of flutes, which therefore are not neces- 
sarily associated with either peace or mourning, but 
breathe also a martial and a cheerful spirit; as we 
know in the present day to be the case with the fife- 
and-drum bands of our marching regiments, and the 
bagpipes of the Highlanders. Such instruments then 
are not alien to the warlike Elegy of CaUinua, the 
£rst specimen of Greek EVegiiauo TwX.t^. la the 
periloua timea when his countTymen. ^et^ \3to^»X«aR^ 



PREFACE. 

with aubjugation by the MagneBJana and Cirameriane, 
already softened by an indolent life of enjoy- 
ment, he used the Elegy to stii- them up by opposing 
the renown of the brave to the obscurity of cowards. 
Hia style, like that of most of tho earUer Elegiac poets, 
is still Yeiy like the Epic, so that the perioda com- 
jB«hend more than one distich, and do not, as in 
tiie later Elegies, rt^quire a ^lauue after every Penta- 
meter. 

TyrUeua, coming, aa is probable, from Attica to 
lAcedsemon, took with bim the metre which had 
become known in Athens from her Ionic colonies. 
At Sparta Ue found internal discord arising from tho 
demand for a new distribution of lands, since the 
eonquered Meeseniana had liacu against their con- 
^oerora. So in hja Eui'd^icl he drew a pictui-c of the 
Trell-regolated constitution of Sparta, and reminded 
the Spartans that on their courage would depend tha 
testoration of their former prosperity which had been 
founded upon divine asslsL'Lnce : and in hia 'Yiro^Kat, 
lie impressed on them the duty and honour of braverj- 
irith tmtiriiig spirit, and great force of language. 
There was a real Spitrtun si>irit in these Elegies, 
hich ■were recited after the evening meal in their 
flunpaigns ; and their serious and manly tone was 
Oninently suited to tlie moderation of the Spartan 
-banquet, just as the Elegies of late^ 1\ie*ii Sn. ■^Msa

viii PREFACE. 

Mimnerm/us, living at a time when the loniaild 
had become more unwarlike and effeminate, mingled 
the patriotic sentiments of his Elegies with vain regrets 
and melancholy. He seems to have endeavonred to 
rouse his countrymen by contrasting their softness 
with the bravery of former generations, rather than 
by directly stimulating them to valour as Callinus 
and Tyrtseus had done. In his Elegy entitled Narvno 
there were allusions to political events^ but subservient 
to the recommendation of present enjoyment, and of 
the devotion of life to pleasure while youth lasted. 

A noble contrast to him is seen in Sohn, who had 
all the energy and resolution of the Athenian cha- 
racter. His Elegy ofSalamia shews the fire of youth, 
while others express contentment and joy at the 
improTements caused by hk legblation : they all shew 
an earnest and absorbing interest in the welfare of 
the Athenian community, and an honest straight- 
forward expression of his political feelings and pa- 
triotic sympathies. They also contain more general 
remarks on human affairs than those of his predeces- 
sors (e.g. Extract vii.) : and express trust in the 
gods, and contemplate seriously the consequences of 
good and evil actions. 

Theognis was considered, from the time of Xeno* 

phoD, as a teacher of wisdom and virtue; and when 

it became the fashion to make extracts of the general 

remarks or yyeS/iai of poets, only Bvxch. N^ere ijreserved

W PREFACE. ix 

I posed entiro Elegies, of wLich the gnomic fmgmeats 
L preserved exhibit frequent ti'aces. It cannot be 
I denied that the remains have come down to us in a 
f very unintelligible state. Political maxima seem all 
\ ftddreased to one friend, Cymue: other names appear, 
I of friends, in whose lives certain events soem to have 
I given occasion for Beparate Elegies (e.g. 11. 147 foil., 
' 167 foil., 117 foil.). These friends apparently were 
members of some aristocratic club who would associate 
' only with one another, and would have nothing to 
I do with any one who did not, according to the original 
I constitution of Megara, possess the chief power. 
I'Tbere are many ailuaions to sympoaia : from these 
I we gather that a solemn libation and prayer to tho 
gods followed the solid part of tho feast : and thea 
the Kuj^Ds, i. e. the more joyous and noisy part of it, 
began, which was accompanied with the fiuto, to the 
t<0ound of which also the Elegy wati recited. 
I Xetiophanet was a man diffcriug entirely in oli»- 
I'ncter from any of the preceding. TTiw Elegies were 
■ Trritten for symposia, but with the idea of correcting 
' E degenerate tone which was prevailing ; and ho 
r evidently looked upon the ordinary amusements and 
Kllwiiquets of his countrymen from the standpoint of 
R^iiloBOphy. Uur Extract ii. deal^t with a theroe 
Bvliith is often enlarged upoit by philosophers of the

X PREFACE. 

Elegy, '' let us drink, and be merry : " and it is inter- 
esting to observe that there mast have been a dege- 
neracy among the Spartans from their old habits 
of moderation ; for the second of these extracts iras 
no doubt (see 11. 5 and 6) written to be song in 
Sparta, and at the royal table. The lonians had in 
their Elegies adopted this style much earlier. 

Yet the second fragment from Critias shews that 
the Spartans did not at once plunge into the depths 
of dissipation, but knew when to stop drinking, even 
though that may have been at a rather advanced 
point. These Elegies were no doubt written by 
Critias while his connection with Socrates still in- 
duced him (as Xenophon says it did) to lead a 
temperate life. 

Hemiesianax belongs to the commencement of the 
Third Period of Greek Literature, the Alexandiian, 
in which sentiment, court flattery, and learning, all 
found expression in Elegiac Poetry. He was the 
immediate successor as an Elegiac poet of the founder 
of the Alexandrian, school of poets, Philetas. In his 
Poem "Leontium" we have quite a different style 
from the writers of former periods, but the same no 
doubt as that of Philetas, which became the model 
for those Roman imitators, who wrote in sentimental 
verses to a Cynthia, or Delia, as Hermesianax to his 
Xeontium, and Philetas to his Battis. 

J^Aanoclea belonged to the eaxxiQ -^cnod, w\d was 
one of those who employed Elegiao t^o^^yj V.o ^^«crJfefe 



PREFACE. TO. 

Ute mannera anil spirit of old Greek life, ia narrationa, 
diiefly of an amatory character. 

Of the other poeta, who are here represented; 
i^rckilodve, though he is said by soma to have ia- 
Vented Elegiac, ia most famoua for Iambic verae ; 
£imonidea (of Ceoa) we know and admire for the 
tieauty and feeling of hia lyric fvagments. He em- 
jJoyed the Elegiac metre for epigrams and epitaphs : 
£rirma wrote principally hexameters, but only Elegiac 
^itaplis have come down to ua : to Plato liave heeii 
ascribed many short and neatly-turned Elegiac in- 
ccriptiona : Theocritua is renowned for hia bucolio 
and raimio-poenis, but wrote several Elegiac epigrams, 
that metre was in hia day begimiing to be revived 
'"hj the Alexandrian Bchool : CaUimachug was the 
finished specimen of what distinguished talents 
■and unwearied learning, backed by court patronage, 
could effect. The Elegiac poem on the Bath of Pallaa 
is a good esamjile of recondite mythological learning 
in ingenious and musical Terse, 

The rest are mere Epigrammatists, amongst whom 
M^eager may perhaps be singled out as the most 
pleasing and most puthetic. 

Such was the manner in which the varioits subjects 
with which Elegy dealt, were treated successively by 
the Greek Elegiac {and, we must add, Lyric) poets of 
diSerent periods.

I have also made use of Meineke's text of Athenseiis

CALLnros OF EPHE3US. 

Tma fiui^ent is llio otil; coiiFiiderabTa remnant of Colli- 
nae; and betonga to tlie period when the Cinuaeriaiis, diiven 
ont by the Soythians, invaded Asia Minor, took Sardia, and 
Woceeded agalnet Ionia, in the middle of ilio Ttli century n.o. 
The Epbesians. threatened bf tbis invasion, and by theit 
tieiehhoara in Magnesia aa well, needed aome conuderahle 
etimnlating force to roose them from the apathy ol their 
liwnriona habita, Honco the following spirited alegy. 

_. TfO — For rlrai. Thia, and irfre (for vin) in the lame 
. line, and «ui (foi rui) in 1. 12, are later Ionia forms. 

AtSitvf— ' Have regard for '. Cp. Ham. Od. ii. C5, 
iXXai'i T atSii>d->irf jripurlom irBp-irms, 

Til— Here, and in 1. 9, 'a man'. 
. IXo-M— From <rxu, 'gathering cp", 'concentrating', 
M il for a spring. 

15. Innw — Instead of thia word Bergk readn j'pycnu

66 ARCHILOCHUS, TYRTjEUS. 

ARCHILOCHUS. 

Archilochus employed a great variety of metres, probably 
all that existed in his day. He is chiefly famous as the 
inventor of the Iambic metre, whose power he first shewed 
in virulent satire. He flourished very early in the 7th century 
B.C. His elegiac poems were chiefly on warlike subjects, but 
also (as in Extract H.) treated of mournful themes, yet 
shewed a manly spirit of endurance and resignation. 

I. 

1. Satov— A Thracian tribe near Abdera. 

2. IvTos— Noun, not adverb. 

It is a curious coincidence that Horace who imitated Ar- 
chilochus in his Epodes {numeros animos^ue secutus Archilochif 
Hor. Ep. I. xix. 24), and Alcseus in his Odes, should have 
followed the example of both in throwing away his shield at 
Philippi. 

II. 

2. |ic|i^|jicvos — ^A doubtful reading. Bergk conjectures 
fi€fnr6fJLcpos, and Meineke axJ^M-cyos* Translate 'having a 
grievance '. 

5. aXXcL — This hortatory word is repeated in 1. 10 with the 
imperative t\tjt€. See on Tyrtaeus (TiroB, i. 1) . 

7. t68€ — There is nothing for this to refer to: perhaps 
generally, * this sea of trouble *. One is tempted to read rdbc, 
i.e. Ki^dea. 

10. aircixrdji.evoi — ' Thrusting away from ourselves '. 

TYRT.35US. 

There is some doubt about this poet's history. The fact of 
his writing elegies, a kind of poetry which had just originated 
in Ionia, is sufficient proof that he was nota nativeof LacedsBmon, 
though at the time of writing (i.e. during the Second Messenian 
war) he was at Sparta. It is possible that he may have been 
a native of AphidnaB, of Ionic descent ; because the new Ionic 
poetry Troizld goon have become known in Attica, The tra-

ion, however, that he irrts a lumc Bchaolmitstec Bont from 
lens in ridienlo when the Spartana asked for a leader, 
■MTcelf deserves credit- 
Bis first Elegy was called Ei/m/ifa, and reminded the 
BpBTlaiiH of their divinelj-eatablished cunBtitulion, aa a reason 
tot refraining bom the sedition ichich the troubles of war vera 
kindling. OUiers were called 'TiFoD^ai, exhortations, orleaaoai 
in braverj. These were sung at ox after the evening raeol. 



The Second Uessenion War, which began ahout b.c. 648, 
lasted probalil; twenty years at least. The estates of the 
I ^lartaDfl were ravaged, their forms were deiuu'tod, and there 
vas gGDeral discontent and clamour for a new distriliution of 
lands. The poem is dedicated to Theopompua, to whom tha 
author gives the credit of having brought tha first Mesaonion 
nor to a satisfactory terminatioo. 

1. #oIS(ni— Tlie first six linen of this extract are quoted in 
PlatMoh'a life of Lycurgue, to shew that the Spartans were 
Induced to believe in the genainenees of an interpolation in the 
Itelphio decree which sanctioned their popular asBambliea. 
The interpolation, which was inserted by the Icings Polydoroa 
■nd Theopompns, was to the eCFoct that, if the people attempted 
to Dormpt ftny lavr, the senate and chiefs should dissolve the 
asHBmblj, 

ItwKa*,.. Subject, the Commisaioners who were sent to 
Delphi. 

6. -rpwf vyvitt— The Senators, twenty-eight in number, 
who with the hiufs mode up the number thirty. 

0. ^ijTpait— These were the orocolar decrees of Delphi, 
leems probable that TyrtKua here quotes the actual words o( 
9 of Uicm, in the Hexameter lines only, beginning with 
LS. 

IT. 

9. Bw 8(a — Join these: 'by whoso means'. 



irttWfwv miWpn — This line i 
tor the date of the Second Meaaenian war. Supposing B.C. 
( for the end of the First, an iii\>a^^i lA b^«>& a

years is required to suit this line. See Grote*s Histpiy of 
Greece, Pt. ii. cb. yii. 

8. 'lOoHuiCaiv — The Messenians were reesiablislied on Mi 
Ithome by £paiuinon4ag, b.c. 369, who thus inflicted a serious 
blow on Sparta. 

I. 

1. Ydp — This conjunction giyea a fragmentary appearance 
to the extract : but probably this and the two following pieces 
are perfect. The yhp gives the motive of the exhortation 
whi<^ follows introduced by dXXd in 1. 15. Compare Horn. 
Qd, X. 174 foil. : 

d\\* dyer*, 

^4 Bom, H. X. 190, 

dXXd ^pa^JlijuOcu 

2, TTcpl — ^With dative here, and genitive in L 13. One can 
scarcely draw any distinction. Cp. Hor. Od, hi. xi, 13, 

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. 

8, ftic«v—* under th^ ban of*. Cp. Hom. Od, iiy, 157, 
OS jrevlji etxtap dsrar^Xta pdj^ci, 

10. dn|iCa — Observe the penultimate lengthened here, as 
in Homer. Instances of Spartans punished by dnfj^la were 
Aristodemus after ThermopylsB (Herod, vii. 231), and the 
soldiers who surrendered to the Athenians at Sphacteria (Thuc. 
v. 34). These persons were allowed to recover their civic 
rights. Less is known about the special conditions of this dis- 
grace at Sparta than of the social excommunication which it 
involved at Athens. 

20. -ycpapovs — Conjecture of Winckelmann and Bergk in 
place of yepaiois. 

25. irdvr lir^oiKcv — iravra is here used adverbially, * per- 
fectly*. Tyrtaeus has borrowed here pretty freely from Homer 
(Hiad, XXII. 71).

If the name is really connected with (atOu -0^) swarthy com- 
plexion, the ancients would no doubt have considered that 
those who lived just where the Sun came nearest to the eiirth, 
(i.e. at the extreme East as well as West) would be l^ie most

THEOGNIS. 

The poetry of Theognis, a Dorian noble of Messena, who 
lived half a century after Solon, belongs to the period of the 
revolution of the conmions of Megara against the nobles. 
When the democratic party finally prevailed, they made a fresh 
division of the territory, in which Theognis was deprived of his 
inherited property. About 1400 elegiac verses of his have come 
down to us, in which there is constant reference to political 
subjects, the object of them being mainly to impart his own 
orthodox aristocratical opinions to a young jprotSgS named 
Cyrnus. 

The poet makes constant use of the terms KUKoi and deiXol 
to denote the democratic, and dyaOol and eaOXol to denote the 
aristocratic party: and probably wherever these words occur 
they should be imderstood in a political rather than in a moral 
sense. 

The dialect is Ionic, interspersed with a few Dorisms. 

There is a very exhaustive analysis of these fragments in 
the works of T. Hookham Frere, and some spirited translations 
into English metre, which are well worth examining. «

An epigram in Anthol. Pal. 9. 190 says of Erinna, that 
she was as much superior to Sappho in hexameters as Sappho 
was to her in lyrics, and that her 800 lines on the Distal 
were equal to Homer. She died in early youth : and in these 
epitaphs on her friend Baucis there seems to be almost a 
foreboding tone.

HERMESIANAX. 

Lived at Colophon in the time of Philip and Alexander the 
Great. The following fragment is the greater part of the third 
book of a long Elegiac poem in three books, with the title of 
Leontium, his mistress' name. AthensBus quotes it in xm. 
697 B, as a catalogue of the loves of the poets. 

1. oti|v — ^For the construction compare Horace Od. iv. iv. 

Qiuilem ministrum fulminis alitem, dtc. 

Here the otiiv has no correlative. It may be supplied either 
thus, * Leontium is as beloved as Agriope, whom &c.', or thus 
(anticipating the construction of 11. 85, 89), 'My love is like 
that of Orpheus, who &c.' Or it may be an inddrect question 
depending on oXceoy as in 11. 47, 57, 71. 

2. *A7pi^irt|v — Another name of Eurydice. 

6. pcu|ia — Object of aupofiiprj — *as it draws its current

18. I{c(^pci—* used to utter'. 

19. PeCpiov — 'actively occupied as a priestess about the 
Barian plain of Demetcr*. But there are other readings of 
this line. 

26. The allusion here is to the lost poem of Hesiod called 
ifdiai, containing accounts of women beloved by the gods. 
The ancient grammarians say that these heroines were intro- 
duced in the poem by the expression i} otrj. This, according to 
Hermesianax, was the name of Hesiod's mistress. 

28. 8aC}jiova— i.e. Love. 

29. ats — ^Not relative, but reflexive pronoun.

and had been a shepherdess (?). It seems almost impossible to 
make sense of this line, irpoydvois is said to mean *the young 
lambs* (!), in which case we must suppose that Hermesianak 
intended to say that PhilQxenus inspired these creatures with 
the love which he felt for Galatea. But the line seems hope- 
lessly corrupt.
